Pleasant weather for the last weekend before Christmas. Tried calling their home phone number but, no answer. Lori and I are going to see the movie "Knives Out" and pick up some additional items for our Christmas. I have the rest of year off so I am looking forward to not working.

Cold morning so far today in both Yankton and Princeton. We have had our share of snow so far this season. I talked about Krampus the Christmas character that shows up at bad kids houses. Here is a picture of him.

Pleasant day today in both Yankton and Princeton. Princeton is supposed to get some snow on Monday then down in the deep freeze the first part of the week. It is starting to take on the trappings of Christmas. Last minute change of plans we are going to St Cloud on Sunday to the Capital City Grill not today (Saturday)

Post Thanksgiving Saturday. My routine has been a little slower this week. Princeton is supposed to be getting snow all day on Saturday and not ending until Sunday morning that will slow things down even more.

Pleasant week ahead as the weather is concerned. Recalling the Downtown Yankton Power Plant that was next to the Ice House and across from Gurney's. How do you like your beer short or tall?

Minnesota is the last state to sell post prohibition era 3.2 Beer. That is why Minnesota is known as the State where nothing is allowed.

A pleasant day in both Yankton and Princeton. Going to the recycle's to get rid of some cans, and to one of the kids houses to pick up a table. I get rid of one thing and something comes back to replace it.

Had to go through the nurses station to start our conversation today. Light coating of snow this morning here in Princeton, nothing to get shook up about. Long weekend for myself with Columbus Day on Monday.

Got a hold of Dad with their home number today in their room. Continuing on with our painting project. Now that we have our furnace on, it seems like fall with the leaves falling.

Got a hold of Dad via the Nurses station number this morning. Their phone was in the room but he did not answer it. Lori and I are going to see Downton Abbey this afternoon (I call it Down Town Abbey) Looks like we have pleasant weather in both Yankton and Princeton the next few day's.

First conversation with Dad at his new home Majestic Bluffs. JoAnn fainted last Saturday and broke a collar bone and there were some other issues that sent her to the hospital. They could not stay in there home. Luckily they were able to get into the nursing home of their choice and they had rooms available.

It said it was raining in Yankton this morning, but perhaps it was not. Not much to converse about today. I told a short story/joke.

It was raining in Yankton this morning. We had eggs and bacon, Dad had sausage and eggs. Talked a bit about the Star Brite Inn Motel which I think used to be called the Flemming Motel. Dad mentioned his friend Leo LaLond (sp?) would go to the train depot, and pick up the passengers and bring them to the motel. An update is that the Star Brite Inn is no longer in business and now is Pathways Shelter for the Homeless. We did talk about the passing of Mike Rockne. Mike was just 62, and we grew up in the neighbor hood with them. Dad worked with Mike's father Dave at the Post Office.
I guess things never stay the same for very long.

Some early discussion of the current weather. Mentioned that the old Kips in "blinking" star is now at Willerts Tastee Treat. Mentioned seeing a photograph that had the Coates Hotel in it. I figured the hotel address was at 303 1/2 Cedar in Yankton.

We didn't talk about this, but I found it interesting an old photo of Wards, and the Red Owl grocery store. I knew Wards used to be where Hatch Furniture is now, but I didn't realize that Red Owl was on 3rd street at one time.

After a brief unexpected hiatus last week, we were able to connect. I was recalling a soybean incident that now will probably be a mystery for the ages. The weather sounded to be usual forecast for this time of year in both Princeton, and Yankton.

It will hot in both Princeton and Yankton. Yankton is under a heat advisory. Talked about Dads blue chicken painting that he did a few years ago, I think of it as I drive to work and there is a Blue Chicken at the Walker Sculpture Garden.
Didn't realize this was a Blue themed conversation with the anticipated consumption of the Grain Belt Blu adult beverage.

Took a little longer to connect but we finally did. Cool and rainy in Princeton, breezy and partly cloudy and a little warmer in Yankton. Reminisced about the old home movies spanning from 1966 - 1979.

Looks like spring is finally here. We plan on doing a little yard work today. Dad remembered the garden that he had growing up. He didn't like all the weeding that needed to be done, probably why we never had a garden growing up. He recalled one year his step brother was with them for the summer, and he pulled all the vegetables weeds an all. Glen Carter was non to pleased about that. And tomorrow is Easter Sunday.

In Princeton it was supposed to be in the mid to upper 60's this weekend. We will be lucky to get into the 50's and it will be rainy. Yankton is sunny with a high of 70 today. The roads are rough in the rural areas of Yankton County but Dad will do his part and stay off them. He was having sausages this morning for breakfast, I had Raisin Bran.
